Title: Configured grant
Inventor: Matha Deghel
IPC: H04W72/14
Filed: 2021-01-18
Abstract: Configured grant enables scheduling, by a wireless network, of uplink transmissions used by user equipment. The time and spectrum resources for use by the User Equipment are transmitted, directly or indirectly, using configuration messages sent from the network to the UE. There is a benefit in using configured grant to enable transmission of a Transport Block to not just one network access point but to multiple access points, utilising different channels, using the configured grant. A UE receives a configuration message and determines a first uplink resource associating to a first configured grant configuration and a second uplink resource associating to a second configured grant configuration. The UE then generates a TB and transmits the TB on the first uplink resource associating to the first configured grant configuration via a first channel. The UE also transmits the TB on the second uplink resource associating to the second configured grant configuration via a second channel. The first configured grant configuration is different to the second configured grant configuration and the first channel is different to the second channel.

Title: Removing effects of instabilities of measurement system
Inventor: JOEL P DUNSMORE
IPC: G01R35/00
Filed: 2021-04-07
Abstract: The effects of instability of a measurement system, such as a vector network analyzer (VNA), are removed while measuring an S parameter of a device under test (DUT). A characteristic of the measurement system is initially determined, including identifying a location of an instability in the time domain; a change of the characteristic while connected to the DUT is determined; and the determined change of the characteristic is corrected by removing effects of the determined change on measurements of the S parameter of the DUT. The instability may be located in the time domain and a gated response over a gating time span may be measured in the frequency domain as the initial characteristic. The initial or factory calibration may be used to identify the location of the instability.
